    Follow the instructions here. When complete, follow them again, but this time substituting compcln for vsp1cln

    You machine would run so much better with Windows XP.

    10GB of DLLs is still too much. But I don't use Vista, so not sure of what is normal for that OS.

    bog-standard up-to-date install of vista H/P and a few installed programs will easily use in the region of 20 or so Gigs of hdd space, hence why it's so important to keep on top of the old restore points to save them from eating into your drive space. Don't think you'll get it much lower than it is already :(
